considering generalized concurrence as the criterion of entanglement, we study entanglement properties of superposition of two qutrit coherent states, as a function of their amplitudes. these states may attain maximum entanglement or no entanglement at all, depending on the choice of the parameters involved. the states revealing maximum entanglement also display the maximum violations of the be...

In this paper, a multi-objective genetic algorithm is proposed to deal with a real-world fuzzy job shop scheduling problem. Fuzzy sets are used to model uncertain due dates and processing times of jobs. The objectives considered are average tardiness and the number of tardy jobs. Fuzzy sets are used to represent satisfaction grades for the objectives taking into consideration the preferences of...

The parallel machines scheduling problem (PMSP) comprises the allocation of jobs on the resources of the systems, i.e., a group of machines in parallel. The basic model consists of m identical machines and n jobs. The jobs are assigned according to resource availability following some allocation rule. In this work, we apply the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) metaheuristic which includes four dif...
